Valentines 2 Night Stand in London

In February this year, we played the biggest ever Los Campesinos! show to date, at London’s Troxy. It was an incredible, exultant occasion for us and 3,000 of you, and it sold out in less than 72 hours.

In February 2025, nearly a year to the day, we’re going even bigger, playing Troxy TWICE over the Valentines weekend. Join us for the Valentines 2 Night Stand.

Tickets for these shows go on sale EXCLUSIVE to you guys on this newsletter on Thursday 10th October, 10am, using the password 2NIGHTSTAND. We’ll drop you an email to remind you…

Friday 14th February 2025 - Troxy, London (TICKETS)

Saturday 15th February 2025 - Troxy, London (TICKETS)

Both nights ticket deal (TICKETS)

PRE-SALE PASSWORD: 2NIGHTSTAND

The above ticket links will not work until Thursday. General sale then takes place from 10am on Friday 11th October.

These shows will be a celebration of the best year our band has ever had. We’ll be joined by strings (for the first time since 2011!) and horns, to bring the most out of songs from All Hell. In addition, we’ve heard the clamour for certain rarities, or never-heard-lives, and will be going through the vaults to do our best to give you what you want! Plus your old faves, of courseeeeee.

These shows will be special, so please join us if you can. No other UK shows will be added as part of this run.

Los Camp! Back in Ireland

Poster art by R N Taylor (www.r-corp.net)

For the first time since 2008, we’re returning to Ireland to play a Rock Concert. We’ll be at Dublin’s Button Factory on Saturday 8th February 2025.

We’ve received a lot of requests to come to Ireland in recent years. I’m still not sure of how much of a fanbase we have over there, so here’s your chance to prove me wrong. No further Irish dates will be added, so this is your chance for now! We’re kind of using this as a trial for other Euro locations, no pressure!

We’re really excited about this one, and are really flattered that for the first time in a long time it feels like there’s sufficient demand for us to hit up Ireland. The venue capacity is 500 people, and we’d love to see it packed out, tell your friends.

• Button Factory is accessible.

• Gender neutral bathrooms are available

• The show is 14+ (under 18s must be accompanied by an adult)

Tickets are €25, or €10 at the low income rate, and they go on sale this Friday 11th October at 10am. Booking fees are included in this price. All info can be found here.

UK Tour Roundup

We just recently saw around 6,000 of you while playing shows in Sheffield, Glasgow, Manchester, Bristol, Brighton and Birmingham. I hope I make it clear while we’re onstage, but it certainly bears repeating, that playing to so many of you, and seeing you as invested in the performance as we are, truly is the greatest privilege. Every time we announce a show or tour these days, there’s the thought looming in the back of my mind that maybe this is the step too far. That maybe we’ve exhausted the goodwill you have towards us and just won’t show up this time. And yet…

Each of these shows was the biggest we’ve played in each city. Like, dramatically so. The last time we played in Manchester it was to 412 people. That’s no small number in itself, but to come back after 7 years away and play to 1,300 of you. That really is the best feeling.

Thank you to all of you who showed up and sang, danced, sobbed, smiled, or just stood there taking it all in. We hope you loved it all as much as we did, and that you’ll come out and see us again next time.

And thank you all for loving ME REX as much as you did. Please give them a follow on Instagram, stream their music and continue to show them the same sort of love you show us!

Don’t forget, the live section of our website allows you to submit your pictures from any of the 570 gigs we’ve played to date! We’d love to see your memories from over the years, so dig out that external hard drive and show us what you’ve got! CHECK IT HERE.

All Hell ‘Lunar Rays’ Variant Available Now

Unbelievably, the initial vinyl pressing of All Hell sold out already, so we’ve restocked with a new variant, which is probably the best looking so far! If you’ve not picked up a physical copy yet, maybe this is the one to persuade you…

---

• Thursday, when we remind you that pre-sale has begun for the Valentines 2 Night Stand, we’ll also include the full stream of our ‘Live at Troxy’ film for your enjoyment (and maybe to help persuade you you wanna be a part of our next visit there…)

  

• ICYMI Gareth was a guest on BBC 6 Music’s Roundtable feature with Huw Stephens a couple of weeks back, reviewing a pile of latest releases and, even if I may say so myself, being very diplomatic indeed. The show’s still available to catch up if you’re interested.

• For the first time in a long time we’re being offered some fantastic festival opportunities. If there’s a specific festival you’d like to see us at, particularly if you’re in Mainland Europe, now’s the time to let that festival know you wanna see Los Camp! there in 2025. More news soon!

• The shirt designs we had on tour will be available online soon, on both our UK and US stores! Truth be told, I start to feel bad about asking you to spend money on us all the time, so we’re putting a bit of distance between these new show announcements and flogging clothing. Thanks for your patience.

• We’re working on another trip to the USA. Our visas expire in June 2025, so ideally we’d hope to fit something in before, to save on the expense. It’s tough with real life responsibilities, juggling annual leave, stuff like that. It won’t be the wide-reaching US/Canada trip that a lot of you (and us!) would love, but we hope to have news soon.

• Don’t forget there’s this resource to ask any Qs you’d like answered in a future newsletter. I want this to be an interactive and sociable space, so feel free to get stuck in to the comments etc.
